Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You're getting a look of awe and amazement from me.

Me too.

I gave myself the highest of fives for doing laundry before church one time.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You see, if I do laundry on a weekday morning, the laundry room is empty. Any other time, and I have to wait for a machines.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That's very logical, and sounds like the couple of times I tried to convince myself I could get up and exercise before work. It...did not go well.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

After doing laundry, I'm usually a sweaty mess, so I do it towards the end of the day on Saturday. I can usually find a brief interval when the laundry room's fairly empty. I'm in the office around 8:00 most mornings, so I'd have to be up ridiculously early (shudder) ... and the people who live near the laundry room would probably be unhappy as well.

Sometimes I wash my face twice in the shower because I can't remember if I did it or not. That is the kind of autopilot I am on in the morning. There is no adding a multi-stage process to that, even if I were to get up an hour or more early.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Just this morning, a friend of mine was talking about the late-hours laundry policy that his condo association set up a late night addition to what doing the laundry cost -- from $1 a load to $15 a load. So that if you absolutely have to get it done, you'll pay through the nose.

Our wings are not tired.

Another advantage of being a morning person is the ease of grocery shopping between 6-8 in the morning. Got the whole place to myself!

My alarm went off at 5:40am this morning. I'm not getting up earlier than that to do any goddamn thing unless I'm trying to make a flight.
